It is responsible for bringing the kernel, kernel modules and other files into memory. It creates a set of .Xr sh 1 like environment variables that are passed to the kernel. It executes boot scripts written in one of several interpreters. Together with the scripts, it controls the booting process and interaction with the user. .Pp It provides a scripting language that can be used to automate tasks, do pre-configuration or assist in recovery procedures. This scripting language is roughly divided in two main components. The smaller one is a set of commands designed for direct use by the casual user, called "builtin commands" for historical reasons. The main drive behind these commands is user-friendliness. The larger component is the scripting language built into the boot loader. .Fx provides three different interpreters: Forth, Lua and Simple. The Forth loader is based on an ANS Forth compatible Forth interpreter based on FICL, by .An John Sadler . The Lua loader is a full Lua interpreter from .Pa https://www.lua.org/ . The Simple loader only interprets a list of builtin commands without any control structure. .Pp During initialization, .Nm will probe for a console and set the .Va console variable, or set it to serial console .Pq Dq Li comconsole if the previous boot stage used that. If multiple consoles are selected, they will be listed separated by spaces. Then, devices are probed, .Va currdev and .Va loaddev are set, and .Va LINES is set to 24. Finally, an interpreter specific file will be executed. .Sh BUILTIN COMMANDS The commands common to all interpreters are described in the .Xr loader_simp 8 .Dq BUILTIN COMMANDS section. .Ss BUILTIN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The environment variables common to all interpreters are described in the .Xr loader_simp 8 .Dq BUILTIN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section. .Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr libstand 3 , +.Xr libsa 3 , .Xr loader.conf 5 , .Xr tuning 7 , .Xr boot 8 , .Xr btxld 8 , .Xr loader.efi 8 , .Xr loader_4th 8 , .Xr loader_lua 8 , .Xr loader_simp 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm first appeared in .Fx 3.1 .

On IA32 (i386) architectures, it is a .Pa BTX client. It is linked statically to -.Xr libstand 3 +.Xr libsa 3 and usually located in the directory .Pa /boot . .Pp It provides a scripting language that can be used to automate tasks, do pre-configuration or assist in recovery procedures. This scripting language is roughly divided in two main components. The smaller one is a set of commands designed for direct use by the casual user, called "builtin commands" for historical reasons. The main drive behind these commands is user-friendliness. The bigger component is an .Tn ANS Forth compatible Forth interpreter based on FICL, by .An John Sadler . .Pp During initialization, .Nm will probe for a console and set the .Va console variable, or set it to serial console .Pq Dq Li comconsole if the previous boot stage used that. If multiple consoles are selected, they will be listed separated by spaces. Then, devices are probed, .Va currdev and .Va loaddev are set, and .Va LINES is set to 24. Next, .Tn FICL is initialized, the builtin words are added to its vocabulary, and .Pa /boot/boot.4th is processed if it exists. No disk switching is possible while that file is being read. The inner interpreter .Nm will use with .Tn FICL is then set to .Ic interpret , which is .Tn FICL Ns 's default. After that, .Pa /boot/loader.rc is processed if available. These files are processed through the .Ic include command, which reads all of them into memory before processing them, making disk changes possible. .Pp At this point, if an .Ic autoboot has not been tried, and if .Va autoboot_delay is not set to .Dq Li NO (not case sensitive), then an .Ic autoboot will be tried. If the system gets past this point, .Va prompt will be set and .Nm will engage interactive mode. Please note that historically even when .Va autoboot_delay is set to .Dq Li 0 user will be able to interrupt autoboot process by pressing some key on the console while kernel and modules are being loaded. In some cases such behaviour may be undesirable, to prevent it set .Va autoboot_delay to .Dq Li -1 , in this case .Nm will engage interactive mode only if .Ic autoboot has failed. .Sh BUILTIN COMMANDS In .Nm , builtin commands take parameters from the command line. Presently, the only way to call them from a script is by using .Pa evaluate on a string. If an error condition occurs, an exception will be generated, which can be intercepted using .Tn ANS Forth exception handling words. If not intercepted, an error message will be displayed and the interpreter's state will be reset, emptying the stack and restoring interpreting mode. The commands are described in the .Xr loader_simp 8 .Dq BUILTIN COMMANDS section. .Ss BUILTIN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The environment variables common to all interpreters are described in the .Xr loader_simp 8 .Dq BUILTIN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section. .Ss BUILTIN PARSER When a builtin command is executed, the rest of the line is taken by it as arguments, and it is processed by a special parser which is not used for regular Forth commands. .Pp This special parser applies the following rules to the parsed text: .Bl -enum .It All backslash characters are preprocessed. .Bl -bullet .It \eb , \ef , \er , \en and \et are processed as in C. .It \es is converted to a space. .It \ev is converted to .Tn ASCII 11. .It \ez is just skipped. Useful for things like .Dq \e0xf\ez\e0xf . .It \e0xN and \e0xNN are replaced by the hex N or NN. .It \eNNN is replaced by the octal NNN .Tn ASCII character. .It \e" , \e' and \e$ will escape these characters, preventing them from receiving special treatment in Step 2, described below. .It \e\e will be replaced with a single \e . .It In any other occurrence, backslash will just be removed. .El .It Every string between non-escaped quotes or double-quotes will be treated as a single word for the purposes of the remaining steps. .It Replace any .Li $VARIABLE or .Li ${VARIABLE} with the value of the environment variable .Va VARIABLE . .It Space-delimited arguments are passed to the called builtin command. Spaces can also be escaped through the use of \e\e . .El .Pp An exception to this parsing rule exists, and is described in .Sx BUILTINS AND FORTH . .Ss BUILTINS AND FORTH All builtin words are state-smart, immediate words. If interpreted, they behave exactly as described previously. If they are compiled, though, they extract their arguments from the stack instead of the command line. .Pp If compiled, the builtin words expect to find, at execution time, the following parameters on the stack: .D1 Ar addrN lenN ... addr2 len2 addr1 len1 N where .Ar addrX lenX are strings which will compose the command line that will be parsed into the builtin's arguments. Internally, these strings are concatenated in from 1 to N, with a space put between each one. .Pp If no arguments are passed, a 0 .Em must be passed, even if the builtin accepts no arguments. .Pp While this behavior has benefits, it has its trade-offs. If the execution token of a builtin is acquired (through .Ic ' or .Ic ['] ) , and then passed to .Ic catch or .Ic execute , the builtin behavior will depend on the system state .Bf Em at the time .Ic catch or .Ic execute is processed! .Ef This is particularly annoying for programs that want or need to handle exceptions. In this case, the use of a proxy is recommended. For example: .Dl : (boot) boot ; .Sh FICL .Tn FICL is a Forth interpreter written in C, in the form of a forth virtual machine library that can be called by C functions and vice versa. .Pp In .Nm , each line read interactively is then fed to .Tn FICL , which may call .Nm back to execute the builtin words. The builtin .Ic include will also feed .Tn FICL , one line at a time. .Pp The words available to .Tn FICL can be classified into four groups. The .Tn ANS Forth standard words, extra .Tn FICL words, extra .Fx words, and the builtin commands; the latter were already described. The .Tn ANS Forth standard words are listed in the .Sx STANDARDS section. The words falling in the two other groups are described in the following subsections. .Ss FICL EXTRA WORDS .Bl -tag -width wid-set-super .It Ic .env .It Ic .ver .It Ic -roll .It Ic 2constant .It Ic >name .It Ic body> .It Ic compare This is the STRING word set's .Ic compare . .It Ic compile-only .It Ic endif .It Ic forget-wid .It Ic parse-word .It Ic sliteral This is the STRING word set's .Ic sliteral . .It Ic wid-set-super .It Ic w@ .It Ic w! .It Ic x. .It Ic empty .It Ic cell- .It Ic -rot .El .Ss FREEBSD EXTRA WORDS .Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXX .It Ic \&$ Pq -- Evaluates the remainder of the input buffer, after having printed it first. .It Ic \&% Pq -- Evaluates the remainder of the input buffer under a .Ic catch exception guard. .It Ic .# Works like .Ic "." but without outputting a trailing space. .It Ic fclose Pq Ar fd -- Closes a file. .It Ic fkey Pq Ar fd -- char Reads a single character from a file. .It Ic fload Pq Ar fd -- Processes a file .Em fd . .It Ic fopen Pq Ar addr len mode Li -- Ar fd Opens a file.

Use the .Li md_image type to make the kernel create a file-backed .Xr md 4 disk. This is useful for booting from a temporary rootfs. Currently, argument passing does not work for the kernel. .Pp .It Ic load_geli Xo .Op Fl n Ar keyno .Ar prov Ar file .Xc Loads a .Xr geli 8 encryption keyfile for the given provider name. The key index can be specified via .Ar keyno or will default to zero. .Pp .It Ic ls Xo .Op Fl l .Op Ar path .Xc Displays a listing of files in the directory .Ar path , or the root directory if .Ar path is not specified. If .Fl l is specified, file sizes will be shown too. .Pp .It Ic lsdev Op Fl v Lists all of the devices from which it may be possible to load modules, as well as ZFS pools. If .Fl v is specified, more details are printed, including ZFS pool information in a format that resembles .Nm zpool Cm status output. .Pp .It Ic lsmod Op Fl v Displays loaded modules. If .Fl v is specified, more details are shown. .Pp .It Ic lszfs Ar filesystem A ZFS extended command that can be used to explore the ZFS filesystem hierarchy in a pool. Lists the immediate children of the .Ar filesystem . The filesystem hierarchy is rooted at a filesystem with the same name as the pool. .Pp .It Ic more Ar file Op Ar Display the files specified, with a pause at each .Va LINES displayed. .Pp .It Ic pnpscan Op Fl v Scans for Plug-and-Play devices.

Lists available commands. .El .Ss BUILTIN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Environment variables can be set and unset through the .Ic set and .Ic unset builtins, and can have their values interactively examined through the use of the .Ic show builtin. Their values can also be accessed as described in .Sx BUILTIN PARSER . .Pp Notice that these environment variables are not inherited by any shell after the system has been booted. .Pp A few variables are set automatically by .Nm . Others can affect the behavior of either .Nm or the kernel at boot. Some options may require a value, while others define behavior just by being set. Both types of builtin variables are described below. .Bl -tag -width bootfile .It Va autoboot_delay Number of seconds .Ic autoboot will wait before booting. Configuration options are described in .Xr loader.conf 5 . .It Va boot_askname Instructs the kernel to prompt the user for the name of the root device when the kernel is booted. .It Va boot_cdrom Instructs the kernel to try to mount the root file system from CD-ROM. .It Va boot_ddb Instructs the kernel to start in the DDB debugger, rather than proceeding to initialize when booted. .It Va boot_dfltroot Instructs the kernel to mount the statically compiled-in root file system. .It Va boot_gdb Selects gdb-remote mode for the kernel debugger by default. .It Va boot_multicons Enables multiple console support in the kernel early on boot. In a running system, console configuration can be manipulated by the .Xr conscontrol 8 utility. .It Va boot_mute All kernel console output is suppressed when console is muted. In a running system, the state of console muting can be manipulated by the .Xr conscontrol 8 utility. .It Va boot_pause During the device probe, pause after each line is printed. .It Va boot_serial Force the use of a serial console even when an internal console is present. .It Va boot_single Prevents the kernel from initiating a multi-user startup; instead, a single-user mode will be entered when the kernel has finished device probing. .It Va boot_verbose Setting this variable causes extra debugging information to be printed by the kernel during the boot phase. .It Va bootfile List of semicolon-separated search path for bootable kernels. The default is .Dq Li kernel . .It Va comconsole_speed Defines the speed of the serial console (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous boot stage indicated that a serial console is in use then this variable is initialized to the current speed of the console serial port. Otherwise it is set to 9600 unless this was overridden using the .Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED variable when .Nm was compiled. Changes to the .Va comconsole_speed variable take effect immediately. .It Va comconsole_port Defines the base i/o port used to access console UART (i386 and amd64 only). If the variable is not set, its assumed value is 0x3F8, which corresponds to PC port COM1, unless overridden by .Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT variable during the compilation of .Nm . Setting the .Va comconsole_port variable automatically set .Va hw.uart.console environment variable to provide a hint to kernel for location of the console. Loader console is changed immediately after variable .Va comconsole_port is set. .It Va comconsole_pcidev Defines the location of a PCI device of the 'simple communication' class to be used as the serial console UART (i386 and amd64 only). The syntax of the variable is .Li 'bus:device:function[:bar]' , where all members must be numeric, with possible .Li 0x prefix to indicate a hexadecimal value. The .Va bar member is optional and assumed to be 0x10 if omitted. The bar must decode i/o space. Setting the variable .Va comconsole_pcidev automatically sets the variable .Va comconsole_port to the base of the selected bar, and hint .Va hw.uart.console . Loader console is changed immediately after variable .Va comconsole_pcidev is set. .It Va console Defines the current console or consoles. Multiple consoles may be specified. In that case, the first listed console will become the default console for userland output (e.g.\& from .Xr init 8 ) . .It Va currdev Selects the default device to loader the kernel from. The syntax is: .Dl Ic loader_device: or .Dl Ic zfs:dataset: Examples: .Dl Ic disk0p2: .Dl Ic zfs:zroot/ROOT/default: .It Va dumpdev Sets the device for kernel dumps. This can be used to ensure that a device is configured before the corresponding .Va dumpdev directive from .Xr rc.conf 5 has been processed, allowing kernel panics that happen during the early stages of boot to be captured. .It Va init_chroot See .Xr init 8 . .It Va init_exec See .Xr init 8 . .It Va init_path Sets the list of binaries which the kernel will try to run as the initial process. The first matching binary is used. The default list is .Dq Li /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:\:/rescue/init . .It Va init_script See .Xr init 8 . .It Va init_shell See .Xr init 8 . .It Va interpret Has the value .Dq Li OK if the Forth's current state is interpreting. .It Va LINES Define the number of lines on the screen, to be used by the pager. .It Va module_path Sets the list of directories which will be searched for modules named in a load command or implicitly required by a dependency. The default value for this variable is .Dq Li /boot/kernel;/boot/modules . .It Va num_ide_disks Sets the number of IDE disks as a workaround for some problems in finding the root disk at boot. This has been deprecated in favor of .Va root_disk_unit . .It Va prompt Value of .Nm Ns 's prompt. Defaults to .Dq Li "${interpret}" . If variable .Va prompt is unset, the default prompt is .Ql > . .It Va root_disk_unit If the code which detects the disk unit number for the root disk is confused, e.g.\& by a mix of SCSI and IDE disks, or IDE disks with gaps in the sequence (e.g.\& no primary slave), the unit number can be forced by setting this variable. .It Va rootdev By default the value of .Va currdev is used to set the root file system when the kernel is booted. This can be overridden by setting .Va rootdev explicitly. .El .Pp Other variables are used to override kernel tunable parameters. The following tunables are available: .Bl -tag -width Va .It Va efi.rt.disabled Disable UEFI runtime services in the kernel, if applicable. Runtime services are only available and used if the kernel is booted in a UEFI environment. .It Va hw.physmem Limit the amount of physical memory the system will use. By default the size is in bytes, but the .Cm k , K , m , M , g and .Cm G suffixes are also accepted and indicate kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes respectively. An invalid suffix will result in the variable being ignored by the kernel. .It Va hw.pci.host_start_mem , hw.acpi.host_start_mem When not otherwise constrained, this limits the memory start address. The default is 0x80000000 and should be set to at least size of the memory and not conflict with other resources. Typically, only systems without PCI bridges need to set this variable since PCI bridges typically constrain the memory starting address (and the variable is only used when bridges do not constrain this address). .It Va hw.pci.enable_io_modes Enable PCI resources which are left off by some BIOSes or are not enabled correctly by the device driver. Tunable value set to ON (1) by default, but this may cause problems with some peripherals. .It Va kern.maxusers Set the size of a number of statically allocated system tables; see .Xr tuning 7 for a description of how to select an appropriate value for this tunable. When set, this tunable replaces the value declared in the kernel compile-time configuration file. .It Va kern.ipc.nmbclusters Set the number of mbuf clusters to be allocated. The value cannot be set below the default determined when the kernel was compiled. .It Va kern.ipc.nsfbufs Set the number of .Xr sendfile 2 buffers to be allocated. Overrides .Dv NSFBUFS . Not all architectures use such buffers; see .Xr sendfile 2 for details. .It Va kern.maxswzone Limits the amount of KVM to be used to hold swap metadata, which directly governs the maximum amount of swap the system can support, at the rate of approximately 200 MB of swap space per 1 MB of metadata. This value is specified in bytes of KVA space. If no value is provided, the system allocates enough memory to handle an amount of swap that corresponds to eight times the amount of physical memory present in the system. .Pp Note that swap metadata can be fragmented, which means that the system can run out of space before it reaches the theoretical limit. Therefore, care should be taken to not configure more swap than approximately half of the theoretical maximum. .Pp Running out of space for swap metadata can leave the system in an unrecoverable state. Therefore, you should only change this parameter if you need to greatly extend the KVM reservation for other resources such as the buffer cache or .Va kern.ipc.nmbclusters . Modifies kernel option .Dv VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX . .It Va kern.maxbcache Limits the amount of KVM reserved for use by the buffer cache, specified in bytes. The default maximum is 200MB on i386, and 400MB on amd64. This parameter is used to prevent the buffer cache from eating too much KVM in large-memory machine configurations. Only mess around with this parameter if you need to greatly extend the KVM reservation for other resources such as the swap zone or .Va kern.ipc.nmbclusters . Note that the NBUF parameter will override this limit. Modifies .Dv VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX . .It Va kern.msgbufsize Sets the size of the kernel message buffer. The default limit of 96KB is usually sufficient unless large amounts of trace data need to be collected between opportunities to examine the buffer or dump it to a file. Overrides kernel option .Dv MSGBUF_SIZE . .It Va machdep.disable_mtrrs Disable the use of i686 MTRRs (x86 only). .It Va net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize Overrides the compile-time set value of .Dv TCBHASHSIZE or the preset default of 512. Must be a power of 2. .It Va twiddle_divisor Throttles the output of the .Sq twiddle I/O progress indicator displayed while loading the kernel and modules. This is useful on slow serial consoles where the time spent waiting for these characters to be written can add up to many seconds. The default is 1 (full speed); a value of 2 spins half as fast, and so on. .It Va vm.kmem_size Sets the size of kernel memory (bytes). This overrides the value determined when the kernel was compiled. Modifies .Dv VM_KMEM_SIZE . .It Va vm.kmem_size_min .It Va vm.kmem_size_max Sets the minimum and maximum (respectively) amount of kernel memory that will be automatically allocated by the kernel. These override the values determined when the kernel was compiled. Modifies .Dv VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN and .Dv VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX . .El .Ss ZFS FEATURES .Nm supports the following format for specifying ZFS filesystems which can be used wherever .Xr loader 8 refers to a device specification: .Pp .Ar zfs:pool/filesystem: .Pp where .Pa pool/filesystem is a ZFS filesystem name as described in .Xr zfs 8 . .Pp If .Pa /etc/fstab does not have an entry for the root filesystem and .Va vfs.root.mountfrom is not set, but .Va currdev refers to a ZFS filesystem, then .Nm will instruct kernel to use that filesystem as the root filesystem. .Sh SECURITY Access to the .Nm command line provides several ways of compromising system security, including, but not limited to: .Pp .Bl -bullet .It Booting from removable storage. .Pp One can prevent unauthorized access to the .Nm command line by booting unconditionally in .Pa loader.rc . In order for this to be effective, one should also configure the firmware (BIOS or UEFI) to prevent booting from unauthorized devices. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /boot/loader_simp -compact .It Pa /boot/loader_simp .Nm itself. .It Pa /boot/loader.rc The script run by .Nm on startup. .Sh EXAMPLES Boot in single user mode: .Pp .Dl boot -s .Pp Load the kernel, a splash screen, and then autoboot in five seconds.
